CONVICT LABOR.

THE second annual report of Col. Carol
d. Wright. Commissioner of the National
Labor Bureau, has been published. The
report relates entirely to convict labor in
the United States, and the statements
made are based on the information col.
lected in pursuance of joint resolution
by Congress. The National Labor Bureau
in conducting the investigation relating to
convict labor did not attempt to as.
certain the entire convict population of the
country, but the tables of the report do
comprehend nearly all such population,
certainly within few thousands, and it is
shown that it amounts to $3.50, of these,
there are So, Asa males, aud $685. females.
or this total number As. 277 are engaged in
productive labor of some kind, 10 100 are
engaged in prison duties, and S.S72 are
sick or idle. Oft total number Ii S27
are employed under the public account
system, 1850 under the contract
system, 5,676 under the piece.price
system, and 9,104 under the lease system.
The report proceeds to show the
various industries in which the con-
victs are employed, and says the industry
employing the greatest number is that of
the manufacture Of boots aad shoes, in
which Z 476 males and 1873 females, or a
total of 1909 prisoners, are engaged. The
industry coming next to boots and shoes,
so far as persons employees are concerned,
is clothing, engaging 1851, while stone en-
ploys 1876; then comes farming, garden
ing, ETC., with 1860, furniture, employing
3,446, and mining, 273. The industry en-
ploy ing the smallest number in the whole
country is lumber, IN which 22s only are
employed, carpeting employing 242. The
total value of goods made and work done
by productive labor in the penal institu-
tons of the whole country is SOS. 753. 900 13.
1t took 45 ,277 convicts one year to produce
this total value. 1t would have taken 35,-
534 free laborers to have produced the
same quantity of goods in the same time;
or, in other words, free laborer is equal
to 1.27 convict, o., to reverse the state
ment, one convict is equal 20 of a free
labcrer. 1t is in. >. esiing TO note the posi-
ton Of States in the value of convict labor
goods. New York stands at the head OF the
list, the value being Sc, 2S6, 800 90. Illinois
is next in rank, producing So, 2s4. 267 so,
Then comes Indiana, with a product
valued at $1,570,901 81. Ohio is
next on the list with a product of the
value of 81, 36S, 122.51: then Missouri, ST.
42,020.07; then Pennsylvania, 81, 317 1885,
IS. Kansas ranks next, with a product
worth 81, ,575.77. Tennessee comes
after Kansas, with only $1,142. 600; then
Michigan. 81, Os7, 1876 62, and. last of the
states producing over 100000 worth,
New Jersey, 81. 019. COS 80. Each of the
other states and territories drop below the
million dollsr point, Dakota coming at
the bottom OF the list, with product OF
81 517 SO In examining the valus of the
industries, boots. shoes lead. the pro-
duct being $40, 100 270 81, or 1913 per

ONLY 5000 in the treasury, and no
more money expected till December, and
Kitchener, the Attorney General, giving
an opinion that Robertson, the pauper,
was entitled to pay for presiding over the
Senate-a position occupied by A. g..
smith-Bruce Carr, State Auditor, there
upon issues his warrant, and Robertson
pockets something over s500-not one cent
of which did he earn, and not one cent of
which was he entitled to. Such an infa-
nous raid upon the treasury of the State
was never before known in its history. II
that is the way the peoples money is dis
posed of, the wonder is that 30 much as
5000 remains, or was on hand at last
accounts

out according to programme.

INDIANA has a feeble-minded institute,
where between sixty and seventy unfor-
tunate children are cared for and edu-
Gated. The Governor OF Indiana, some
days since, made an arrangement With the
trustees of the institute to provide for
these unfortunate wards of the State at
the least possible cost, economy being re-
quired, because upon inquiry the Governor
found there was only $1,000 in the State
Treasury. After the arrangement had
bsen made, Attorney General Kitchener,
who has as many opinions in his head as
the Republican dog has feas in its hair,
put in his oar for the purpose of embar-
raising things, and. If his fool ideas were
carried out, the feeble-minded children
would be left without any one to look
after their welfare. Kitchener and Brace
Carr will have about all they can do, with
only $1,000 in the treasury, to keep
Robertson out of the poor-house, by form.
ulating opinions aud drawing warrants.

the Chinamen's gold and trade, they said
they wanted ito open China for their
missionaries" And opium was the chief,
in fact, only, missionary they looked after,
when they forced the ports open. And
this infamous Christian introduc.
ton among Cinnamon has done
more injury, social and moral, in China
than all the humanitarian agencies of
Christianity could remedy in 200 years.
And on you, Christians, and on your greed
of gold, we lay the burden of the crime
resulting; of tens of millions of honest,
useful men and women sent thereby to
premature death after a short, miserable
life, besides the physical and moral pros
tration it entails even where it does not
prematurely kill And this great national
curse was thrust on Us at the points of
Christian bayonets. And you wonder
why we are heathen?"
Wong Chin Foo refers to Chinese meth
DDS of rearing children which would be of
advantage in Christian homes. He closes
by saying: 1--WE heather are a God.tear-
ing race" A good deal of money is being
expended in trying to convert the heather
Chinese, hence 1t will be in the line oil
prudence, for Christians to know, from one
capable of speaking, the character Of the
obstacles to be overcome. Wong Chin Foe
states them in way not to be misunder
stood and the careful study of Chinese
ideas relating to Christianity can not fai
of being of great service to progressiy,
Christianity.

He Had Made Mistakes Himself.
Boston Traveller,

A Boston capitalist, who is leading
merchant as we'll as a large owner OF real
estate, is noted for the interest he takes in
young men in clerical positions. Once q
frightened bank cashier waited upon him
to say that, by the mistake of one OF the
clerks, q check of the merchants had got
into the pigeon hole marked protested"
As Mr.. Millions might have heard rumor
that his check had been protested, the
cashier FASTENED to explain, and said that
he would discharge promptly the young
man who made the mistake.
"And why discharge him, sir2" mildly
asked Mr.. Millions.
Because he put your check in the pro-

ture of clothing, which is 81, 1879 62i.25.
while carriages and wagonsIsre manufac-
tured 10 the value of 81 $50 100. In all
other industries the product is.lless than
$1,000, 600, the smallest being lumber, to
the value of $63 $50. The report discusses
a number OF topics connected i.with,c
vict labor, and referringl tol.those;:who
feel agrieved it is stated that
workingmen object to the system
because contractors are able to employ
labor at a few cents per day, ranging per-
haps from twenty to sixty cents for long
term men, and that the. contractor, as an
individual, should have the advantage, IN.
der the patronage of the State, of securing
gains to himself. They feel that it is an
affront to them, not only as wage receivers,
but as contributors toathe general wealth
through their producing capacity. All
manufacturers not identified with prison
contracts feel aggrieved that the State
should offer individual advantages which
they themselves cannot secure by any in
dIvidual competition, and while 1t is true,
as conclusively shown, that as a whole the
convict is not equal In efficiency to..the
free laborer, yet it is also conclusively
shown that this inequality is more than
made up by other advantages secured to
the contractor. Col. Wright is of the
opinion that no plan can be devised which
will remove all competition, but any plan
which reduces competition to the MIN
mum, both in wages and in sales and
quantity commends itself to all those who
oppose the present systems-and the sdop-
ton of the hand labor plan, 1t is believed,
would go far towards solving the
problem.
